Answer:
For the disbelievers, that is all.
Q: And what about the one who greets Muslims with it?
The Shaykh: No, it is not permissible. This one says: "Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings." As for the disbelievers, he says: "Peace be upon those who follow the guidance," or "Peace be upon those who follow the truth," or "Peace be upon those who hold fast to the truth"; because they do not initiate the greeting. The disbelievers do not initiate the greeting.
